al_draw_glyph(3)	    Library Functions Manual		al_draw_glyph(3)

NAME
     al_draw_glyph - Allegro 5 API

SYNOPSIS
	    #include <allegro5/allegro_font.h>

	    void al_draw_glyph(const ALLEGRO_FONT *f, ALLEGRO_COLOR color, float x, float y,
	       int codepoint)

DESCRIPTION
     Draws  the  glyph	that corresponds with codepoint in the given color using
     the given font.  If font does not have such a glyph, nothing will be drawn.

     To draw a string as left to right horizontal text	you  will  need  to  use
     al_get_glyph_advance(3) to determine the position of each glyph.  For draw-
     ing  strings in other directions, such as top to down, use al_get_glyph_di-
     mensions(3) to determine the size and position of each glyph.

     If you have to draw many glyphs at the same time, use  al_hold_bitmap_draw-
     ing(3) with true as the parameter, before drawing the glyphs, and then call
     al_hold_bitmap_drawing(3) again with false as a parameter when done drawing
     the glyphs to further enhance performance.

SINCE
     5.1.12

SEE ALSO
     al_get_glyph_width(3), al_get_glyph_dimensions(3), al_get_glyph_advance(3).
